2015 2nd Generation Audi Q7

[Roger1223]

The new Q7 priced at ~360k for all that option compares well with the XC90 high spec model

 

Q7's front grill is still a dog's breakfast though... personally, if it's only about looks, I'd pick the XC90.

 

 

Yup agree ... this XC90 engine is very powerful too ... 2L only but many horses and torque ...

[alphard96]

Have not seen any latest Q7 on the road but have seen twice the new XC90 - impressive.

 

btw: My friend bought the previous model Q7 but was not impressed with the interior space, he said his previous "cheaper" Estima was definitely more spacious with more luggage capacity!. 

 

Good to check this point before deciding to purchase (of course not relevant for those who dont need to ferry 7 all the time or have more than 1 car...)

Estima is a MPV, so not surprising space a bit different. The new Q7 I think is much more spacious than the old one. Frankly it looks like a pretty advanced car.

I disagree. I reviewed the Estima, the Ody and the Q7 when buying my 2011 Q7. While the MPVs were more spacious for the occupants... the Q7 won with boot space with all 3 rows up... followed by the Estima and lastly the Ody.

 

And both the Toyota and the Honda salesmen were proud to point out the aircon vents for the 3rd row... Is there any airbags for the 3rd row or is there a side curtain I asked.... short pause and they continued... "no, but check out the aircon vents for the 3rd row! your children will thank you for it!"

 

 

Dumb shits.

Yep. Difficult to compare the MPVs to the SUV. It's a different experience altogether.

 

Regarding the 1st gen Q7 to the new one... I feel that both the 3rd row seating as well as the boot space when the 3rd row is up... is smaller in the new model than the older one. 

 

The 3rd row seating is definitely narrower than the old model as well.

 

But otherwise... it's a fantastic car inside. And with lots of kit for the ~350k they are asking.

The smaller 2L version is 60K less, around 299999, after overtrade/discount etc

test drove this cheaper version today!

How does it drive? Heard it is no more air suspension?

[alphard96]

You are right.

The 2L version is "normal suspension", but comfy enough for that short test route.

The 2L 

- no matrix LED headlihght lights (only has normal LED, both main beam and high beam)

- no S line kit/leather

- no window blinds for rear seats

- no fully autoparking (only park assist), ie no front camera

- "smaller rims"

 

Others think same specs

 

Even the larger version dont have blind spot indicator and radar cruise control or lane change alert...so I guess no point forking another 60K but spec wise still not FULL.

 

Rear seats still power/electric folding but cramped like other smaller mpvs.

auto tailgate standard

"flowing" or signal lights (sorry dont know the correct term) are standard

 

Moonroof not included even for the larger version -  but available on indent

 

Overall the 2L powerful enough, silent but acceleration in my humble opinion is a bit jerky (not as smooth as lexus - seamless).

 

note: omv quite low for 300K, think around 50 plus only if not mistaken.

This will be the 2L e-tron version that they announced for the Asian market. It's the well used turbo charged 2L TFSI and an electric motor with total output of about 360 bhp and 700+ nm of torque.

 

That's more than the 1st gens supercharged 3.0 version.

 

But I've heard the battery pack eats into rear space so no 3rd row seats on the e-tron versions. You're saying they have the 3rd row in the 2L version here?

This is not the e-tron version. Just the 2.0T engine, so no interior space is sacrificed.

damn... I didn't even know they had a 2L 250hp version Shouldn't be so bad considering my considerably heavier 2011 model only has 275hp

[ali007]

Hi guys, I have a 2007 Audi Q7 that giving me a cold start with white smoke. Anyone experienced this before?

[Heman75]

Anyone driving the new Audi Q7 2.0T .. need some feedback as thinkin of changing to this giant 7seater suv.

2020 Facelift Audi Q7   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Audi Q7 is getting an all-round update - both visually and technically. The large SUV features the new design of the Q family and offers superb dynamics and excellent comfort, in addition to its superior spaciousness. Mild hybrid technology, the digital operating concept and the optional HD Matrix LED headlights including laser light are just some of its highlights. The new Audi Q7 will be launched in Europe in mid-September 2019.

 

Robust look: the exterior design

 

The Audi Q7 demonstrates the hallmark SUV elements in the current design language. It bears the large octagon-shaped Singleframe, with six upright slats providing the structure. As such, the SUV looks even more powerful. The two-part side air inlets have a much more expressive line, just like the sill area that underscores the large SUV's ground clearance and, in turn, its offroad capabilities. The headlights, optionally in HD Matrix LED technology with Audi laser light, emphasize with their contour and light signature the width of the full-size model.

 

On the restyled rear, a striking chrome strip creates the visual connection between the flat rear lights with their technical-looking graphics and carries forward the horizontal body line. The designers achieved the clear view with taut, flat surfaces, which span the entire width particularly in the license plate region. The Audi Q7 is particularly striking with the optional S line exterior: A blade in the front bumper, sportily accentuated underbody protection at the rear along with full paint finish and 19-inch wheels come standard.

 

Sporty on-road, powerful off: the suspension

 

Audi has substantially enhanced the dynamic attributes of the Q7. The electromechanical active roll stabilization is available as an option for the large SUV. Adjustable stabilizers reduce the body movements on uneven roads when driving in a straight line. With a sporty driving style, the focus is on optimum roll compensation - the tendency of the car to lean into the bend is reduced substantially.

 

All-wheel steering is also optionally available: The rear wheels turn by up to 5 degrees in the opposite direction at low speed, which increases agility. On the highway these wheels steer slightly in the same direction to promote stability.

 

Thanks to the combination of these high-tech systems, the Audi Q7 is extremely maneuverable, precise and agile in urban traffic and on hairpin bends. In contrast, the Q7 behaves as a highly comfortable, poised touring SUV with excellent ride comfort on freeways - particularly in conjunction with the adaptive air suspension. It also provides variable ground clearance and prepares the Audi Q7 with its standard quattro drive for terrain off the beaten track. The appropriate offroad mode can be selected via the Audi drive select dynamic handling system with its seven profiles. Air suspension comes standard on all seven-seater Q7 models. The S line exterior includes the slightly firmer adaptive air suspension sport, which lowers the ride height by 15 millimeters (0.6 in) compared with the regular air suspension system.

 

Mild hybrid technology standard: the drivetrain

 

All of the engines in the Audi Q7 are coupled to an eight-speed tiptronic and permanent all-wheel drive. A choice of two diesel engines will be available at market launch. Shortly after the market introduction in September, a gasoline unit, followed also by a plug-in hybrid model, will join the lineup. The standard mild hybrid technology plays a major part in the efficiency of the engines. In customer operation, this technology can reduce consumption by up to 0.7 liters per 100 kilometers. Its central component, the belt alternator starter (BAS), powers a 48-volt main electrical system in which a compact lithium-ion battery stores the energy. During braking, the BAS can recover up to 8 kW of power and feed it back into the battery. If the driver takes their foot off the accelerator at speeds between 55 and 160 km/h (34.2 and 99.4 mph), the Audi Q7 recuperates energy, rolls in idle or coasts for up to 40 seconds with the engine switched off. The BAS restarts the engine the next time the accelerator is depressed, and does so faster and more gently than a conventional starter. The start-stop range begins at 22 km/h (13.7 mph).

 

Luxury-class lounge: the interior

 

Whether with five or seven seats - the Audi Q7 combines immense prestige with practical everyday qualities. Through its new design, the large SUV has now grown eleven millimeters (0.4 in) to 5,063 millimeters (16.6 ft) long. It measures 1,970 millimeters (6.5 ft) wide and 1,741 millimeters (5.7 ft) (including roof aerial) high. The Audi Q7 outdoes its direct competitors with interior length as well as headroom and elbow room in the front and rear. A host of storage compartments, a new compartment in the instrument panel as well as the generous load capacity provide highly functional utility value. Depending on the position of the rear seat backs the luggage compartment on the five-seater version offers between 865 and 2,050 liters (30.5-72.4 cu ft) of capacity - the latter with a flat load area. An electric tailgate is standard; foot-activated gesture control is available as an option. Audi optionally supplies the rear seat bench plus; all three seats can be moved individually fore/aft and the backrest angle adjusted, as well as a third seat row with two electrically lowerable seats.

 

The cockpit architecture harmonizes perfectly with the new, digital operating concept, which incorporates two large touchscreens. They provide haptic and acoustic feedback when clicking on the touch controls. When off, the top display slots almost invisibly into the large black decorative surface. All elements refer logically to one another, from the flat air vent strip to the wide console on the center tunnel.

 

The optional contour ambient lighting package illuminates the interior in the dark. Comfort equipment options include four-zone automatic air conditioning, a power-assist function to close the doors quietly, the Bang & Olufsen 3D Advanced Sound System and the air quality package with fragrancing and ionizer. Highlights in the seat lineup include the customized contour seats with their numerous adjustment functions and the S sport seats plus, both available with climate control and massage function.

 

High-end connectivity: Audi connect and assist systems

 

The MMI navigation plus delivers top-of-the-line connectivity. It features LTE Advanced, a Wi-Fi hotspot, natural voice control and the extensive Audi connect portfolio. The latter ranges from traffic information online, navigation with Google Earth, to the hybrid radio. The cloud-based Amazon voice service Alexa, which is integrated into the MMI operating system, is also new. The same applies to the Car-to-X service traffic light information, which is being rolled out in stages in selected European cities. Interconnection with the city's infrastructure allows the vehicle to receive information from the central traffic light computer via a server, enabling the driver to select a speed to match the next green-light phase. The all-digital Audi virtual cockpit - and the optional head-up display - provide an individual speed recommendation as well as the remaining time until the next green-light phase if the driver is already waiting at a red light. The system thus contributes to a predictive and efficient driving style and facilitates a steady flow of traffic.

 

The adaptive cruise assist, which combines the functions of adaptive speed assist, traffic jam assist and active lane assist, reduces the driver's workload - particularly on long journeys. In combination with efficiency assist it brakes and accelerates the Audi Q7 in anticipation of the conditions ahead. The emergency assist is also new: If the driver is inactive, the system brings the car to a stop and initiates protective and rescue measures. This function is active in assisted and manual modes.

The new Q7 looks like a bloated Q3 

[Thaiyotakamli]

This is more like all new Q7, totally diff lol

[Akula]

Nice, looks more SUVish, versus current model, which looks more “estate”.
